Heath Evans Says He Was Fired Unfairly, Goes on Twitter to Prove It

But you might recall that former NFL fullback Heath Evans was named in a 2017 lawsuit filed by Jami Cantor that alleged inappropriate behavior from Warren Sapp, Donovan McNabb, Marshall Faulk, and other NFL Network analysts and employees.

Cantor, a wardrobe stylist at the time, says that Evans sent her nude pictures and made inappropriate flirtations, which Evans is now admitting to. But he says the behavior was mutual, and that Cantor sexted him as well.

Evans remained silent at the time but was allegedly fired by the NFL Network two weeks ago for refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding the situation.

He surfaced on Twitter a few hours ago to explain his side of the story and share two text messages from Cantor, in an attempt to clear his name.

“Heath’s employment was terminated as a result of his own misconduct – which he freely admitted to on Twitter today,” network spokesperson Alex Riethmiller tells TMZ Sports.

“Before severing its relationship with Heath, the NFL carefully considered all of the circumstances, including the information that Heath provided. In the end, the NFL concluded that his conduct was not acceptable in our workplace and we stand by our decision to terminate his employment.”

Let me preface things by saying Evans seems like your classic meatbead. However, how does she solicit body/working out advice from the same person who had been sexually harassing her? I was always skeptical of her story.

Maybe the harassment started after these texts. What she’s asking seems reasonable. It’s not like she was asking him to bend her over her kitchen counter. Like my man says below, these texts prove nothing.

From my understanding the harassment started well back before this text exchange. Again, I’m not defending Evans. I always thought he was an asshole. I’m just saying I don’t think this chick is a true victim.

Soooo…she seems to have a friendly, platonic relationship with him and this somehow exonerates him? She never said that she never talked to the man. If he gets all creepy after that and starts sexually harassing her it doesn’t mean it was warranted just because she was going to talk to him. God what a caveman.
